Wife and I went to see a local production of "Sweeny Todd. the Demon Barber of Fleet Street" last night.
It's a musical that we both like, and have a copy of the movie version. Steven Sondheim writes complicated songs that are difficult to sing, so we had reserved expectations. The vocalist were all excellent, acting mostly good or better.
The director made some odd choices, and my wife was a theater teacher and stage performer for many decades... she wasn't kind in her after show comments. But overall, when I see a local show that mostly works, that's a win.
If you're not familiar with this, find the movie and watch it. Sondheim is an acquire taste, but his stuff is almost always entertaining.
